\nHappy Diwali, folks! Are you hosting a party to celebrate the festival of lights with your friends and family? We\u2019re sure you\u2019re serving them your specials. But may we suggest an addition? We promise you – this one\u2019s a total firecracker, and it\u2019s going to blow the taste buds of your guests. Richa of My Food Story<\/a> created these super easy firecracker chicken meatballs. This recipe is the last one in our series of festive food.<\/p>\n

Over to her.<\/p>\n

Spicy, juicy and full of dhamaka \u2013 that\u2019s what these easy firecracker chicken meatballs are! I\u2019m dipping my fingers in that sauce as I write because it\u2019s so irresistible. And definitely the star here. Because what\u2019s life without an extra spicy sauce that almost burns your mouth but cannot be resisted.<\/p>\n

I created this recipe because we love meatballs and I wanted them to feature on our Diwali menu for this year. When I tested this recipe, and tried out the sauce they were immediately christened Firecracker Chicken Meatballs because they are a BOMB in your mouth.<\/p>\n

These meatballs are made with a basic mixture of minced chicken, panko breadcrumbs, eggs, seasoning and lots of garlic. But my secret ingredient that makes these extra juicy is grated parmesan. It\u2019s not melty cheesy but it adds a lovely flavor, binds and add little pockets of cheese that make these meatballs really soft.<\/p>\n

There are a few different ways you can enjoy these meatballs. You can either make the sauce on the side and dip these as you go, or you can toss these in the sauce and simmer them for a few minutes like I do, or you can brush them with the sauce and bake them for a few minutes. I\u2019ve tried them all three ways \u2013 yes that\u2019s how many times these meatballs have been made so far \u2013 and I love them every way!<\/p>\n

I like to balance the spice here with a glass of Chenin Blanc from Big Banyan. The Chenin Blanc has a fruity aroma of yellow apple, white lemon and peach and the mild sweetness and acidity in the wine works really well with these spicy firecracker chicken meatballs. In fact, I don\u2019t think you should ever try these without a chilled glass of this wine. The pairing is absolutely stunning and you\u2019ll be wanting a sip after every few bites.<\/p>\n

I think our Diwali menu is looking pretty good now. We now have firecracker meatballs, three cheese samosas and lavender white chocolate truffles that are absolutely divine. Pair a different wine with each of these to feel like you have arrived!<\/p>\n
